| (54) | Method of and apparatus for producing video signal associated with photographic image |
| (57) Video signals representative of photographic images which are stored in a plurality
of substantially equally dimensioned frames (12a) in horizontal and vertical positions
are produced by picking up the images. A first signal indicative of a horizontal/vertical
position and a top-bottom orientation of the photographic image stored in any of the
frames (12a) is entered. The photographic image is rotated relatively in response
to the first signal. For a vertically positioned image, a video signal is produced
which is representative of the image a magnification of which is smaller than that
of a horizontally positioned image. Such a procedure provides a video signal which
represents an image in a non-inverted top-bottom orientation without essential part
of the image omitted. |
